Bell's bill would also make it a
Class one misdemeanor for adults to

give alcohol to underaged drinkers.

He says, under current law, it's
hard to prosecute people who provide
alcohol to underaged guests in their
homes.

Delegate Dave Albo says 67-
percent of underaged drinkers get their
alcohol from an adult who's purchased
it for them.

Under Albo's bill anyone found
guilty of providing alcohol to an
underaged drinker would have his or her
driver's license suspended for one
year.

today that showed major improvement in
many of the problem areas that had been
cited in 2002.

More than half the force was
looking for employment elsewhere that
year ... new numbers show just 20
percent are job searching today.

Last year's pay raise went a long
way towards keeping many officers in
the Hill City.
